Just note that many of these products are "Made in Canada", not "Product of Canada", so ingredients likely still come from outside of the country.

Still better than the alternative retailers and brands.

I'd still recommend shopping with other smaller local companies. I've found the exact same canadian products, 25-30% cheaper at locally owned Canadian businesses instead of petvalu. They are EXPENSIVE for almost no reason and refuse to price match.

I wish I had the option!

Within just a few KM, we have two Petsmarts, and at least 3 petvalus. There was an independent pet store just down the street, but they closed down a few years back.

I may have to look again, since we just got used to having stuff brought in from Amazon or Walmart 😵

We live rurally. Our only pet store is actually petvalu and it's a half hour by car. Sometimes you get what you get.
